Hanworth Hall

Hanworth Hall is a country house built around 1700, constructed from brick with stone dressings and featuring a hipped slate roof. The building has a double pile plan and the main (east) facade consists of two storeys and an attic, with nine bays. It has a brick plinth capped with stone. The central three bays project slightly and are topped by a pediment that includes stone dressings and an oculus with radiating glazing bars in the tympanum. The central brick doorcase is adorned with two orders of pilasters that have stone bases, capitals, and keystones, and features a pulvinated architrave, a plain frieze, and a cornice. The double doors have a blank lower panel and an upper section with glazing bars.

All the windows are sashes with thick glazing bars, except for those in the three upper central bays, which have lower sills and narrower glazing bars. Each window is set under rubbed and gauged flat brick arches with stone sills. A moulded brick platband runs along the facade, topped by a wooden cornice and a stone cornice above it, leading to a stone-coped brick parapet. There are two attic dormers with casements and pediments above them, and three axial stacks.

The south facade has four bays and is also two storeys with an attic. This elevation mirrors the east front, but the ground floor windows on the southeast have been lowered and later sashes have been inserted. There are two similar attic dormers on this side. The north elevation is similar to the others but features an external stair added around 1900 to the second bay.

Inside, the entrance hall is stone flagged and has two doors leading southwest and northeast, each with six raised and fielded panels and a surround with a pulvinated frieze. The sitting room and dining room, located to the left and right of the front hall, are finished with oak panelling. The oak staircase has twisted balusters and a massive handrail with newels. The upper drawing room includes a marble fireplace with a plaster overmantle that features a broken open pediment.
